I'm guessing the DOJ has something figured out.

Authorities accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn, head of the IMF, of raping a maid in a New York hotel and made him do the perp walk in front of the cameras. What happened in the end? Career ruined but all charges dropped.

Well, the "end" is hard to assess. What has happened so far is a series of investigations begun and dropped over various sex-related crimes until the current set for "aggravated pimping" for which he was tried this past February with the verdict to be read in June.

Would you have rather they hadn't indicted and charged a man accused of rape, where there was (as I understand it) DNA evidence suggesting a sexual encounter had taken place?
